PSG Eyes £75 Million Bid for Marcus Rashford as Potential Mbappe Replacement

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up to make a substantial £75 million offer for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford this summer, eyeing him as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

With Mbappe’s anticipated move to Real Madrid looming, PSG is keen on securing Rashford’s signature. Despite a previous failed attempt in 2022, where they offered an enticing £400,000-per-week wage, PSG is determined to bring the 26-year-old forward to their ranks.

Rashford’s performance this season, marked by seven goals in 27 league games, has been considered average. Nevertheless, PSG is ready to renew their pursuit of Rashford, even though Manchester United values him closer to £100 million ($128 million). Financial Fair Play regulations have constrained United’s summer budget, potentially opening the door for negotiations.

Although Rashford has demonstrated recent scoring prowess with goals against Manchester City and Everton, his future remains uncertain. The decision to leave Manchester United may hinge on various factors, including the club’s ability to secure European qualification.

As United currently sits sixth in the league, trailing eight points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, their position in European competitions could influence negotiations in the upcoming transfer window. Rashford’s next opportunity to shine comes in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final clash against Liverpool, where he aims to extend his scoring streak.
